Manual frugal install of Precise 5.6.4 alpha on the old trusty Athlon XP box.Sound,internet and display correct and working ootb.
The first thing I did was grab QTWeb ........so far appears to be working fine.Will give it a good test run later.Small and works well.....may be a contender for default browser.

This topic's title claims that after 10 years of development
Puppy Linux is still alpha software,
and if true that is really sad.

alpha software definition
A very early version of a software product that may not contain all of the features that are
planned for the final version. Typically, software goes through two stages of testing before it is
considered finished.

Alpha version describes a development status that usually means the first complete version of
a program or application, which is most likely unstable, but is useful to show what the product
will do to, usually, a selected group—and is also called preview version; the beta version is
usually the last version before wide release, often tested by users under real-world conditions.

What is your difficulty in understanding that there are alpha,beta and release candidate releases before any final release? Developers have been using the term "alpha" long before you chose to name your distro.

If QtWeb pops up ssl certificate errors from time to time, installing ssl certificates and needed folders will stop them. Here is pet to enable installing them. You need /etc/ca-certificates.conf file. Only this file is included in the pet.
